Egzòd 19
1 Moun Izrayèl yo te gen de mwa depi yo te soti kite peyi Lejip la. Premye jou twazyèm mwa a, yo rive nan dezè Sinayi a.
In the third month of the departure of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on this day they came into the wilderness of Sinai:
2 Lè yo kite Refidim, yo rive nan dezè Sinayi a. Se la yo moute tant yo, anfas mòn lan.
For departing out of Raphidim, and coming to the desert of Sinai, they camped in the same place, and there Israel pitched their tents over against the mountain.
3 Moyiz moute sou mòn lan, l' al bò kote Bondye. Seyè a rete sou tèt mòn lan, li rele Moyiz, li di l': -Men sa pou ou di moun fanmi Jakòb yo, men sa pou ou fè pèp Izrayèl la konnen:
And Moses went up to God: and the Lord called unto him from the mountain, and said: Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4 Seyè a pale, li voye di nou konsa: Nou wè sa mwen te fè moun peyi Lejip yo. Nou wè ki jan mwen te pote nou tankou malfini pote pitit li yo sou do li, mwen fè nou vin jwenn mwen.
You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, how I have carried you upon the wings of eagles, and have taken you to myself.
5 Koulye a menm, si nou koute sa mwen di nou, si nou kenbe kontra mwen an, se nou menm m'ap chwazi pou moun pa m' nan mitan tout pèp ki sou latè. Tout latè se pou mwen, se vre.
If therefore you will hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall be my peculiar possession above all people: for all the earth is mine.
6 Men nou menm, n'ap vini yon nasyon moun k'ap sèvi m' tankou prèt, yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou mwen. Wi, se sa pou ou di moun Izrayèl yo.
And you shall be to me a priestly kingdom, and a holy nation. Those are the words thou shalt speak to the children of Israel.
7 Moyiz ale, li fè sanble tout chèf fanmi pèp la, li rapòte yo tou sa Seyè a te ba li lòd di yo.
Moses came, and calling together the elders of the people, he declared all the words which the Lord had commanded.
8 Tout pèp la reponn ansanm, yo di: -N'a fè tou sa Seyè a di nou fè. Apre sa, Moyiz al rapòte bay Seyè a repons pèp la.
And all the people answered together: All that the Lord hath spoken, we will do. And when Moses had related the people’s words to the Lord,
9 Seyè a di Moyiz: -M'ap vin jwenn ou nan yon gwo nwaj byen pwès. Konsa pèp la va tande lè m'ap pale avè ou, y'a toujou kwè nan ou. Moyiz rakonte Seyè a sa pèp la te reponn.
The Lord said to him: Lo, now will I come to thee in the darkness of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to thee, and may believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.
10 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Ale bò kote pèp la. Fè yo pran jounen jòdi a ak jounen denmen an pou yo mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen. Se pou yo lave rad yo.
And he said to him: Go to the people, and sanctify them today, and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments.
11 Se pou yo pare pou twazyèm jou a. Paske, sou twa jou mwen menm, Seyè a, m'ap desann sou mòn Sinayi a pou tout moun ka wè m'.
And let them be ready against the third day: for on the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 W'a mete yon limit toutalantou mòn lan pou pèp la pa depase. W'a avèti yo pou yo pa moute sou mòn lan, ni pou pesonn pa menm pwoche bò pye mòn lan. Nenpòt moun ki va mete pye sou mòn lan, se pou yo touye l'.
And thou shalt appoint certain limits to the people round about, and thou shalt say to them: Take heed you go not up into the mount, and that ye touch not the borders thereof: every one that toucheth the mount dying he shall die.
13 y'a kalonnen l' kout ròch osinon y'a pèse l' ak kout flèch jouk li mouri, san pesonn p'ap bezwen manyen li ak men yo. Kit se yon moun, kit se yon bèt, se pou yo touye l'. Lè y'a tande kòn lan kònen, se lè sa a y'a moute sou mòn lan.
No hands shall touch him, but he shall be stoned to death, or shall be shot through with arrows: whether it be beast, or man, he shall not live. When the trumpet shall begin to sound, then let them go up into the mount.
14 Moyiz desann soti sou mòn lan, l' al bò kote pèp la. Li fè yo mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Yo lave rad yo.
And Moses came down from the mount to the people, and sanctified them. And when they had washed their garments,
15 Apre sa, Moyiz di yo: -Pare nou pou apre denmen. Pa kouche ak ankenn fanm.
He said to them: Be ready against the third day, and come not near your wives.
16 Sou twazyèm jou a vre, nan granmaten, loraj t'ap gwonde sou mòn lan. Te gen zèklè ak yon gwo nwaj byen pwès sou mòn lan tou. Yon twonpèt t'ap kònen byen fò. Tout moun t'ap tranble kou fèy bwa kote yo te ye a, sitèlman yo te pè.
And now the third day was come, and the morning appeared: and behold thunders began to be heard, and lightning to flash, and a very thick cloud to cover the mount, and the noise of the trumpet sounded exceeding loud, and the people that was in the camp, feared.
17 Moyiz fè pèp la soti kote yo te moute tant yo a pou y al kontre Bondye. Yo rete nan pye mòn lan.
And when Moses had brought them forth to meet God from the place of the camp, they stood at the bottom of the mount.
18 Tout mòn Sinayi a te kouvri nèt ak lafimen, paske Seyè a te desann sou li nan mitan yon gwo dife. Lafimen t'ap moute tankou nan yon fou lacho. Tout mòn lan t'ap tranble avèk fòs.
And all mount Sinai was on a smoke: because the Lord was come down upon it in fire, and the smoke arose from it as out of a furnace: and all the mount was terrible.
19 Twonpèt la t'ap kònen pi fò toujou. Moyiz t'ap pale, Bondye t'ap reponn li byen fò avèk yon bri ou ta di yon bri loraj.
And the sound of the trumpet grew by degrees louder and louder, and was drawn out to a greater length: Moses spoke, and God answered him.
20 Seyè a desann sou mòn Sinayi a, sou tèt mòn lan menm. Li rele Moyiz sou tèt mòn lan. Moyiz moute al jwenn li.
And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, in the very top of the mount, and he called Moses unto the top thereof. And when he was gone up thither,
21 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Desann, avèti pèp la pou yo pa depase limit la, paske yo ka pran kouri vin gade mwen. Lè sa a, anpil ladan yo ta kapab mouri.
He said unto him: Go down, and charge the people: lest they should have a mind to pass the limits to see the Lord, and a very great multitude of them should perish.
22 Ata prèt yo ki ka pwoche bò kote m', se pou yo mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sa tou. Si se pa sa, mwen ka touye yo.
The priests also that come to the Lord, let them be sanctified, lest he strike them.
23 Moyiz di Seyè a: -Pèp la p'ap kapab moute sou mòn Sinayi a, paske se ou menm ki defann yo moute, lè ou te di: Trase yon limit toutalantou mòn lan, mete l' apa pou mwen.
And Moses said to the Lord: The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou did charge, and command, saying: Set limits about the mount, and sanctify it.
24 Lè sa a Seyè a di Moyiz: -Desann non. Epi tounen ansanm ak Arawon. Men pa kite prèt yo ak pèp la depase limit ou te ba yo a pou yo kouri vin kote m'. Si yo fè sa, m'ap touye yo.
And the Lord said to him: Go, get thee down: and thou shalt come up, thou and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people pass the limits, nor come up to the Lord, lest he kill them.
25 Moyiz desann bò kote pèp la, li di yo tout bagay.
And Moses went down to the people and told them all.
